Our Core Strengths

INDEPENDENCE & OBJECTIVITY

As a 100% employee-owned firm, FEG is structured to ensure our clients-come-first model endures over the long term. We are an objective, institutional partner to our clients and we have no affiliations with broker-dealers.

PROACTIVE CLIENT SERVICE

FEG aims to consistently provide our clients with dedicated, robust client service—we tailor our investment process around the unique needs and goals of each client, no matter the size. Additionally, we seek to proactively engage clients, deliver thorough and ongoing education, and deliver counsel on critical components of an investment program—such as governance and spending policy—that can sometimes fall outside traditional institutional investment relationships.

IDEAL SIZE / BROAD INDUSTRY NETWORK

Possessing the significance to command talent and global resources, FEG remains nimble and seeks to provide outstanding service and customized solutions to our clients. Our strong network of industry relationships helps us provide clients access to early lifecycle, niche, closed, and oversubscribed strategies, and enables us to facilitate introductions that can help meet our clients’ holistic goals.

DIRECT ACCESS TO OUR DEEP BENCH OF INVESTMENT TALENT

FEG serves as an extension of your staff, offering open-door access to our credentialed research and portfolio management teams, each of which is dedicated to monitoring market complexities, managing volatility/risk, and seeking high-quality investment managers. Additionally, we also have dedicated private capital and hedge fund resources, and provide clients a full suite of in-depth research, as well as education on current strategies, market insights, and trends.

Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that investment excellence is earned through the following four essential principles:

• Independence: Clients come first. Objective decisions empower the pursuit of better outcomes over time.
• Ardency: The disciplined application of a rigorous due diligence process uncovers opportunities with the potential to preserve value and provide growth that may not be obvious or available to other market participants.
• Prudence: A sound investment program is built upon deliberate portfolio design commensurate with risk tolerance, market opportunities, and competitive advantages.
• Alignment: Comprehensive alignment between principals—e.g., client and advisor—and component parts—e.g., managers and custodians— improves the outlook for long-term success.
